Kelowna Mounties are investigating a suspicious fire at a bank last night.
Police were called at about 11:30 pm after firefighters had already extinguished the blaze in the lobby of the financial institution in the 1800 block of Dilworth Drive.
“RCMP has initiated an investigation and have reason to believe that the fire was deliberately set,” said Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy.
“A witness saw a man fleeing the fire scene on foot. Thankfully no one was injured.”
She added: “We are now appealing to anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area to contact us.”
The suspect has been described as a man wearing a grey hoodie, police said.
Anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police is urged to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or head to crimestoppers.net
